This Mother’s Day, we are spoiling mums properly. Whether she’s into historic houses, luxe spa hotels, or gin-infused views, there’s an afternoon tea with your mum&#8217;s name on it. Expect perfectly baked scones, delicate cakes, and finger sandwiches that taste as good as they look. Add Champagne, cocktails, or a dash of live music to make the occasion feel truly special.

Afternoon tea… but with gin. Located right by the shimmering Silent Pool, this is Mother’s Day for the mum who prefers botanicals to Breakfast Blend. The G&amp;Tea Party isn’t your granny’s doily and cucumber sandwich setup &#8211; although do expect plenty of perfectly executed savouries and sweets. It kicks off with a mini distillery tour and gin tasting. Then you take your seat on the terrace overlooking the pretty Silent Pool for an afternoon tea where each course is paired with Silent Pool gin cocktails. Think smoked salmon blinis, quiches and impeccably dainty finger sandwiches &#8211; followed by scones with lashings of cream and jewel-bright jams. The sweet course leans into citrus, florals and soft spice to complement the gin’s botanical profile &#8211; delicate lemon possets, lavender-kissed cakes, and pâtisserie that looks as good as it tastes.



Vibe: Botanical glamour with a playful edge. Best for: The mum who’d always choose a G&amp;T over a Prosecco &#8211; and knows her juniper from her geranium. Need to know: The experience starts at 1pm on Sun 15 March. Cost is £70 per person.

If your mum likes her afternoon tea served with a side of sweeping lawns and a faint whiff of Gatsby-era glamour, Barnett Hill is a very safe bet. This Queen Anne-style beauty near Guildford feels intimate enough to be special without tipping into full-blown stately-home theatre.

Take a glass of fizz onto the terrace if the weather behaves, or settle into one of the elegant lounges and make a slow afternoon of it. 



Vibe: Effortless country-house elegance. Best for: Traditionalists with excellent taste. Need to know: Afternoon tea is served from 12noon-4.30pm. It&#8217;s £38 per person for the afternoon tea, and £48 per person for the Champagne afternoon tea.
